Thanks DJ

Pens have traded D John Marino to the NJ Devils in exchange for D Ty Smith and a 2023 3rd round pick.

Salary dump.

They've been busy. Maybe a chemistry change thing, too.

I was surprised we traded Matheson. More surprised they took on an older, higher priced D-man in Petry. I know Petry wanted to be traded to a US team and MON wouldn't retain any pf his salary. Was hoping if we made a trade, it would be for TJ Miller.

 

[Steelr4evr]

Well at least we get to watch Crosby,Geno and Letang play this thing out. Hopefully some good goals and low amount of bone head mistakes.

I don't see anymore cups,but who knows? If they can get a good supporting cast and a goalie who can stand on his head, I suppose anything is possible.

 

[Sarge]

I think Ryan Poehling is the guy they wanted, and had to take on Petry to get him. Petry's metrics are terrible. Can't understand why the Pens would pick him up aside from getting Poehling.

 

[Badcat]

Pens are the oldest team in the NHL...oof!!

Why? This guy was beyond horrid last year.

Probably because they already have a lot invested in him. He's young enough to hopefully turn the corner.
